    It's episode 374 and are technical issues bringing us closer together? We're so sorry, YouTube Boozers and Shakers, for the lag (we edited the audio separately so you won't hear the same overlapping issues there). We're making up for it with a new Compliment Christine segment. This week Em takes us way, way back to the origins and dark side of nursery rhymes. Then Christine covers the more recent Polish case of Krystian Bala. And has Em just dubbed Christine the "Princess of Pronouns"? ...and that's why we drink!

    We wrote a second book! Pre-orders are open and super important for our ratings so treat yourself to our second spooky travel compendium, A Haunted Road Atlas: Next Stop here - http://bit.ly/HRANextStop

The best

The best podcast around! I love the mash of the paranormal/weird and true crime. I admit I’m not cool enough, and half the time I stop after the paranormal, so I don’t walk around paranoid. But I love these people. Super funny, and down to earth!

Em EASILY distracted/passive aggressive w/Christine

Random, irrelevant subject matter to have to fast-forward 30 seconds at a time; & missing the ONE important sentence actually related to the story👿then having to “rewind” 15 secs at a time to find said sentence & listening to Em passive-aggressively torturing Christine…the stories are amazing but the gaslighting towards the other host, Christine is incredibly frustrating. Em is easily distracted from the story line after giving us one sentence intro to the story snd after over 40 min of random irrelevant subjects, we get a little more before distraction occurs again….UGH. I LOVE the stories, H8 the 40+ intro convo & having to endure sev other breakdowns from the story; randomly peppered throughout the actual podcast material, more fast-forwarding will be required. Not a good look…..or listen. Might need to take a break as TWWD podcasts get longer & longer due to these extraneous distractions of personal convo before you even get to the actual meat/potatoes of the particular podcast material.
